I think he means "FS disk image, as per the NetBSD-Alpha distribution
of rz25-image.gz".

I have to admit, such a ting would have made my life easier in the
past, as well.  I have an HP system which had an HP/UX disk with enough
room for the 80M compressed rz25 image, a tape drive I could load the
image onto tape from at work, and a tape drive for the HP machine so I
could load it in as an image on the HP disk.  Then I would:

cat image.gz | gunzip | dd obs=10240 conv=sync of=/dev/netbsd_disk.

Presto!  Installed with no network crap necessary...
